Some people show off vacation photos all over their houses. Even then, though, you don't usually get a good sampling of that person's travels by the few pictures they chose, and had space, to present. I opted instead for having one poster-sized digital pictureframe (well, okay, it's a screen inset in the wall with a hidden PC, but the interface is the same), which shuffles through all the photos—a much better sampling, and you eventually see everything if you watch long enough, without having to hunt down the scapbooks in the attic. Having said this, I wouldn't be surprised if there were an analogous device for ebooks—perhaps a touchscreen marqueeing a steady stream of your favorite quotes from each book, each of which displays the appropriate cover and either pushes the book itself via Bluetooth, or begins dictation from the audiobook version.
